You enjoy the freedom of two wheels, but you want genuine
reliability in respect to the filters you use. Ryco Filters brings
you optimum engine protection by matching or exceeding the
genuine filterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficiency, life & flow characteristics.
The name Ryco Filters has a proud history of leading the
Automotive Aftermarket in filtration for over 70 years. Our
design philosophy is to meet or exceed OE specifications and our
catalogue and part numbering system is the most recognised in
the industry.
Ryco Filters has a strong focus on local technical capability
utilising its world-class automotive testing laboratory based in
Melbourne. Our laboratory boasts a triple loop test rig - a state
of the art liquid filter test machine, the only one of its kind in
Australia. It provides our engineers the ability to analyse in realtime what is happening inside the filter as the number and sizes of
the particles captured during the test are recorded.

Ryco Filters tests to internationally
recognised SAE standards and
ISO4548-12 full flow oil filter. We
conduct over 30 subsequent tests
as part of our product offering. This
process has been instrumental in
Ryco Filters releasing its long awaited
Motorcycle Filtration range.

Efficiency, Life & Flow.

When it comes to comparing filters, not all filters are created equally – it’s what’s engineered
to go inside that counts. Our design philosophy at Ryco is to develop filters that meet or
exceed the OE (Original Equipment) specifications. To achieve this, Ryco has developed a
reliable industry standard for automotive filtration and we measure the performance of our
filters in three critical areas: Efficiency, Life and Flow.
Ryco Filters are designed and tested in Australia for Australian conditions. In Australasia’s
only dedicated filtration laboratory we test and review all new product prior to release, to
ensure they meet or exceed the critical specifications when benchmarked against OE, and we
continue to test the filters throughout their life.

In collaboration with our manufacturing and supply chain partners, Ryco technical teams work
onsite and in our engineering facility to continually maintain and improve quality processes
and controls.
Our commitment to design integrity ensures that when Ryco design new filters we ensure
that no existing international patent designs are infringed, while maintaining a design that
matches the critical requirements of fitment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Efficiency, Life and Flow.

Genuine quality is based on performance and genuine
performance is based on efficiency, life and flow.

Efficiency The percentage of dirt
that a filter removes

The filter or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; determines what the oil, air or fuel has to pass
through and where the dirt is trapped. Working on the theory of a
torturous path, the more twists and turns a particle of dirt has to
take, the more likely it is to be captured.

Life

How long a filter lasts
before clogging up

Dust-holding capacity of the filter determines how long its life is.
The more high-quality paper inside the filter means the more dirt it
will hold and the longer it will last.

Flow

How easily air, oil or fuel
flows through the filter

Minimising resistance to flow ensures the engine is never starved
of air, oil or fuel. Poor flow in a filter deprives engines of their vital
needs, causing them to work harder, lose power and create rapid
engine wear over shorter periods.
